Re: [Asrg] Spam, why is it still a problem?

Yeah I'd be happy to.
I've been trying to identify the most common reasons why we tend to
classify and dismiss proposals, often pretty brusquely.
What we seem to be doing is to compare them with a implict set of
requirements which the group subscribe to but don't publish.
We then have problems explaining to the proposer exactly why "your solution
is a ..." means that we believe it has a pimary design flaw.

Watch this space.

This is a nice list.  Any chance you could work it up into a draft of
proposed criteria for anti-spam techniques?
